Chapter Summary

This front matter section of the book Age Discrimination and Children's Rights contains table of contents and introduction. The book starts from the philosophical premise that children are rights-holders. Implicit in this assertion is the recognition that, although rights are accorded to the child, a lack of capacity may inhibit the child from exercising his or her rights. Human rights may become enshrined in domestic legislation as a consequence of the State's legal undertakings in the international sphere.
